NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — In a record-breaking settlement, Comptroller John Liu won $2 million for 24 workers who were cheated out of wages and benefits by a contractor doing a job for the city.

“With this, we want to send a strong message to contractors that they must obey state labor law. And, we want to send a message to workers, that if they suspect that they’re being short-changed that we’re there to help,” said Liu.
